Question 1

Can I switch from OurFamilyWizard mid-case?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Families switch between court dates. Export your OFW message history as a certified PDF to preserve the record, then start a clean, timestamped record on CommonGround. Most attorneys prefer this approach.

Question 2

Is CommonGround admissible in court?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every message, schedule change, exchange, and payment is timestamped. Court-ready PDF exports include a SHA-256 integrity hash so judges and opposing counsel can confirm the record has not been altered — no separate certification fee.

Question 3

What about the OFW ToneMeter?

Accepted Answer

ARIA, our AI coaching system, goes further than ToneMeter. It detects toxicity and then suggests a calmer rewrite you can accept, edit, or reject. ToneMeter only flags tone — you still have to rewrite the message yourself.

Question 4

Is pricing really flat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. $17.99 per month covers both parents, every child, unlimited messages, GPS handoffs, KidSpace, court exports, and attorney access. No per-parent fees, no per-child fees, no court-certification add-ons.

Question 5

Can my attorney still access the case?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and free of charge to them. Attorneys, mediators, and GALs get scoped read access to verified records. You invite them by email; they confirm, and their access is time-limited and audit-logged.
